Sexless citizenship

In a handwritten note, Owen Wister tells President Roosevelt that this is a text he has written for a paper, and he believes Roosevelt will agree with him. The text describes men who fail to vote as “sexless citizen[s]” who should be fined or punished by law and calls for a list of men who failed to vote to be published along with their property values.
